So, it looks great but

a) does it have a backlight

b) can I sync it with my own server instead of some 3rd party cloud service?

no backlight, and as I explained above we can't promise anything other than what is written on the webpage already wrt. features.

the primary reason i purchased an kobo aura one is the red led back light, so i can read at night without messing with my sleep cycle. it's a killer feature. you'd be wise to consider it.

we're far too late in the development process to add to the features of the hardware, but backlight is one of the ideas for a next generation.
